Good Business.
Better Communities.

Our First 5 Years

Commonwealth is an uncommon investment company. We deploy capital and talent to help solve some of the world’s biggest problems. 

And while we seek alpha for our investors, we measure our success in how our investments benefit others.

Please read our 5 Year Report below to see how we’re attempting to push the highest arc of commercial excellence toward the highest point of mission impact.

Our Purpose

The world has never experienced so much prosperity nor faced so many massive challenges. Commonwealth harnesses the same entrepreneurial talent that creates wealth to create more opportunity for everyone to flourish.

Our Model

Commonwealth Impact Investing operates with three big goals in two lanes of action with two investment strategies.

Our Origin Story

Dan and Marsha Coats established the Foundation for American Renewal in 1999 to increase the understanding and practice of effective compassion in America. The foundation’s chief focus was bringing business techniques to America’s generous story of giving and serving.
